Goal Seek
� Goal Seek is used to get a particular result
when you're not too sure of the starting value.
�
For example, if the answer is 56, and the firstnumber is 8, what is the second number?
� Is it 8 multiplied by 7, or 8 multiplied by 6?
You can use Goal Seek to find out.

Linear Programming & Excel
� Production planning problem
� A company manufactures four variants of the
same product and in the final part of themanufacturing process there are assembly,
polishing and packing operations. For each
variant the time required for these operations
is shown below (in minutes) as is the profitper unit sold.

� (a) operation time definition
� Tass = 2x1 + 4x2 + 3x3 + 7x4 (assembly)Tpol = 3x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 (polish)Tpac = 2x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 + 5x4 (pack
� (b) operation time limits� The operation time limits depend upon the situation being considered. In
the first situation, where the maximum time that can be spent on eachoperation is specified, we simply have:
� Tass <= 100000 (assembly)Tpol <= 50000 (polish)
Tpac <= 60000 (pack)� In the second situation, where the only limitation is on the total time
spent on all operations, we simply have:
� Tass + Tpol + Tpac <= 210000 (total time)

Linear Regression
� A linear regression is just a statistical tool used
to determine whether or not two (or more)
variables are linearly related.
� Suppose you want to determine whether a
person's salary is a function of his or her
education level (measured in years).
The general form of the relationship is:
� Yi = a + bXi + errori
Page 37
8/7/2019 analysis Tools-business research methodology
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/analysis-tools-business-research-methodology 37/45
Linear Regression
� where:
� Yi = value of Y (salary) for observation i
� a = average value of Y (salary) when X (education) iszero
� b = average change in Y (salary) given a one unitincrease in X (education), i.e. the average increase insalary for each additional year of education.
� Xi = value of X (education) for observation i .
� errori = portion of Y (salary) that is unrelated to X(education), i.e. due to other factors (age, years on job,etc.)

Regression
� Then, the hypothesized relationship betweeneducation and earnings may be written
� I = a + bE + e
�
where� a = a constant amount (what one earns with zero
education);
� b = the effect in dollars of an additional year of
schooling on income, hypothesized to be positive;� e = the noise term reflecting other factors that
influence earn

Covariance
� The Covariance tool computes the value of theworksheet function COVAR for each pair of measurement variables.
� (Direct use of COVAR rather than the Covariance tool isa reasonable alternative when there are only twomeasurement variables, that is, N=2.)
� The entry on the diagonal of the Covariance tool'soutput table in row i, column i is the covariance of the
i-th measurement variable with itself.� This is just the population variance for that variable, as
calculated by the worksheet function VARP.
